Hey i know it's pretty old thread but i found working app that works really great on our beloved P500. Records you and caller and saves it in mp3 files. There many options of configuration all you need to do is

root your phone

and install from market "rVoix for rotted HTC Hero" (can't pasate link cause of lack of 10 posts ;) )

I'm using it on rotted LG p500 with ICS on board.

App it selfs starts a service which is fully configurable, you can set up to record all calls, calls from desired numers, unknow call etc. Maybe someone will need it ;)

It's suggested to not record all calls but only few which one you want to have recorded, casue during the call quality of call is avarage.

Hey Everone,

I have a NC and I see everyone saying how they have hundreds of epub magazines and books that they sideload, etc...

I was just wondering where everyone gets their epub media, either free or paid? What are the best places to look?

Any advice for a noob with a Nook would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] ajd88:
Look in torrent sites. There's a bunch.
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
If you have Usenet access try the alt.binaries hierarchy and look for e-books. Tons of ebooks of all types.
[Nook Color General] Buff McBigstuff:
If you happen to come across some books and magazines in the places the others suggested you can use calibre to convert them to epub format.
[Nook Color General] scratchfury:
I like O'Reilly books because you can get them in multiple formats at any time once purchased including ePub and PDF. They run ebook specials all the time, so I'd recommend getting on their mailing list if you like tech books.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
My Library. I can literally borrow tons of eBooks and AudioBooks straight from their Website. Sure they Expire after 2 weeks but hey, I didn't spend a cent and didn't break a single law. Usually I read a book once anyway.

And of course there are sites out there that let you buy a Book without Den but sometimes they charge a Premium or the selection sucks. Of course these are the Legal ways that don't involve buying from the Big 3(Google, B&N, Amazon)

You can go the Gray route of course, namely Shady sites or torrents but the dificulty of finding a book or magazine varies depending on popularity. It can be fairly simple and easy, or cost you hours of time and be near impossible. Also you usually have to know what your looking for beforehand, unlike other places that help you find books you might be interested in.

There's my 3¢.

my biggest issue with torrents is that there are so many fake ebooks out there, for those who have downloaded tons that way, how can you be sure they're the real ones? For example, when harry potter book 7 came out, the ebook that was out there actually only had 3 chapters of the real story and the rest of the ebook was fan fiction! Someone put it out there to mess with people.

My second biggest issue with torrents is I don't like to bootleg (anymore). Although they charge an outrageous price for ebooks on the big 3.

I wrote guides in wiki, with the help of MCLP and NENI.

This are to help to install foliomod or modded rom after you installed last toshiba upgdrade (the one blocked rom installation).

Hope could help
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
Nice guide. But I think it would be much more conveniant to just fastboot flash the stuff:

1) Make sure ADB is working

2) Unpack the latest foliomod update.zip and locate the boot.img/recovery.img/system.img files

3) Get the latest version of fastboot from the android sdk

4) Boot folio into fastboot (switch on, after vibration press 3x power and then volume up) and connect to pc via usb

5) go to the directory where the fastboot executable lives and type:

-fastboot flash linux c:\path\to\my\foliomod\boot.img

-fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\my\foliomod\recovery.img

-fastboot flash system c:\path\to\my\foliomod\sytem.img -w

-fastboot reboot (or just power off and on again)

-done

I would recommend to set up fastboot to anyone, as the recoveries for folio all are not 100% working (clockwork) or incompatible (ever tried to flash foliomod with clockwork) or just locked up (newest stock recovery).

Fastboot is no more complicated to set up than adb is, and it is really useful.
[Folio 100 General] kakkio:
hi mblaster

TnX for additional instructions. The reason why I don't describe a guide using fastboot is that on folio the "3x power-press" is VERY DANGEROUS, doing that make very easy brick your folio.

Dexter wrote some post about that, so it's correct advise users to follow these instructions at own risk.
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
Thank you I did not know that. Will continue using fastboot anyway, but i will be more careful counting ;)
[Folio 100 General] roglio:
There is a way to dump the firmware before flashing? Maybe using fastboot?

included 4 silicon cases 2 screen protectors a leather folio casewhich adjusts viewing angles and is designed specifically for the NC.

Also includes some cables chargers headphones....

Only a few left

Seems you can get anything you possibly want for our NC cheap

I just ordered from that same company yesterday on amazon. 4 silicone cases and a screen protector for 4.96 shipped! Not sure how the quality will be, but figured for less then $5 it was worth a shot.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up they are back in stock with 6 left, I just ordered one up. Ended up paying 90 cents after using my AMEX points too :)

The kit I got was without the leather case since I already have one of those anyway, but they have both combo deals in stock as of now.
[Nook Color Accessories] netscorer:
I have one of these silicon cases and love it -just enough protection for my nook without adding any bulk. Plus they are pretty grippy too. Not surewhy would one want 4 of them, but I guess you can always sell the extra.

[Nook Color Accessories] netscorer:
No wonder everyone is so confused. If you search crazyondigital nook on amazon.com, the current price is $20.99 (was $16.99 just this past weekend). If you go to amazon.ca the price is CDN$ 5.99

If you can order from canadian site, the savings are pretty good. My total from canadian site, including shipping to USA, was 9.56. I am not sure whether this would also be treated as foreign transaction, in which case credit card issuing bank may attach another $.50 or so, depending on the credit card agreement.
[Nook Color Accessories] Ridel:
You just explained everything.

Thanks! Ordering now.

The price changed on Amazon.com. It was $5.99 when OP made this thread. They seemed to had sold out very fast, and then upped the price.

$20.99 +$3 shipping

He also has a 7 item option for $14+$3 and the case only for $11+$3

The case is also available in black. I jumped on the 7 item as the screen protector and charging cables were thrown in.
[Nook Color Accessories] JLCollier2005:
anyone got theres yet? I am looking for a case like that, but don't like the way it looks in the pictures. Also, I heard a lot of cases like that slip and don't actually hold as a stand, which is a big problem as I'd be buying it for that. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'll probably just buy the rooCASE that is similar to it when it comes out, even though it's more expensive.

From the pictures on the sure it seems to work as a landscape stand as well in three different positions

I desperately need a silicone skin for my beloved NC. But, being in Thailand, all of the sellers on ebay and Amazon refuse to ship international. Anyone know an online seller that willing to ship overseas?
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Lol, THANK YOU!

http://www.amazon.ca/CrazyOnDigital...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1301540849&sr=8-11

About $6 USD (shipped!)
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
it is a great deal. I opted for one that cost about 8$ more total but came also with an extra screen protector 4 silicon skins (red white blue and black) a few extra cable things a reading light (lol) and something to wind headphones and a retractable microusb cable. Figure for 8$ there was some value in the skins alone which go for >10$ each usually
[Nook Color Accessories] ADude:
If you look at the other items, you can get the Silicone Skin for CDN$4 shipped - I paid US$11 for what looks like the identical item from Amazon US - and I am quite satisfied with it by the way, it makes it less likely to drop the NC, more likely to survive a drop and has perfectly configured holes for all ports, buttons, etc.

Thanks for the link, I ordered that one for the US$6, since I could really use the backup chargers and the stand/cover looks nice,
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
thanks, damn why didn't the OP post a link. Lost $11 :(
[Nook Color Accessories] projektdotnet:
Thanks for the link, USD 6.40 shipped! Can't wait :D

I also bought the 7 piece on amazon.ca for 6.40 shipped. Looking forward to the leather case the most, especially now that CM7 plays video so well.

Just got the larger pack in, one with the leather case, and the silicon ones really are fantastic! Tight fitting, rather grippy, and non-lint magnets.

Just a warning, they do have a terribly atrocious smell when they are first opened.

$24.99 cdn!?!

This is madness!

Just got mine from Amazon.com, both the leather case and silicon skin are excellent, the leather case has magnetic on the cover too. Works great! !!!!!!

Will you take pics for us? I may be willing to pay the higher price but would like to see it in the case... bummed my order got cancelled :-( Obviously not OOS if they are sellin it at a higher price.

The NC does not slide from top but from the folding side, it has a flap that fold in and under the NC, similar to the case at post #149 in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857453&page=15

The stand works similarly to this rooCase Easy View

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Easy-...QZRW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1301671171&sr=8-9

There a two small magnetic pieces at the edge of the cover to keep it closed, it works but not very strong though. The inside material which is in contact to the NC is very good, however I don't think the outside material is genuine leather.

In general, it's rather strong and well made for a cheap case, good protection for the Nook, the stand design works really well :)
[Nook Color Accessories] rohit275:
Wait...so the canadian orders didn't work for the US customers? This makes me feel slightly less bad about overpaying for it, I was thinking of sending it back with a "return to sender" to get a refund without opening it, but I'm considering keeping it now.

Since this was my thread I will state mine has shipped amwaiting delivery. I ordered from USA site. I suspect they had limited quantities at the cheap price and so decided once those were sold to go back to full retail once there was more demand. Probably all due to XDA nook owners LOL.

My amazon.ca order disappeared without any email. I wasnt charged either.
[Nook Color Accessories] victle:
After using the leather case for a couple of days, I really like it, very well made, the multiple views stand works well, it's soft, a little bit thick but not heavy, easily fold the cover back and hold the case by one hand. Had a very good feel when holding it.

Any other one got your? Looks like they have shipping problem.
[Nook Color Accessories] netscorer:
My order from amazon.ca went through and the package was shipped on March 30th. At least it says that it was shipped. The tracking from USPS states that the package left the facility, whatever that means. Probably sitting somewhere at the border now, waiting customs clearance. With the strong stench that these silicon covers produce, I would not be surprised if they treat it as a potential WMD :cool:
[Nook Color Accessories] :
I received my case. As others noted, it works fairly well. I think it is very safe to say that it is NOT leather. In fact, it isn't even a very good imitation of leather. That being said, for money, it seems to work pretty well.

Mine included silicone cases as well, and those seem to be decent quality. The charging accessories work, but appear to be very low quality, so I do not expect them to work for very long. . .
[Nook Color Accessories] fulanito01:
Jumped on this when i saw it (thanks OP). States it was shipped on Mar.28, and still anxiously awaiting arrival (from us site). tracking info has been unavailable :/
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
Do the charging cables work at same speed as stock charger?

From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
Nope. They are simple microUSB chargers.
[Nook Color Accessories] case-sensitive:
I ordered the 17-piece package a week ago and the package has just arrived. As others have pointed out, the case is clearly not made of leather, but otherwise it is well made and doesn't feel like it would fall apart in 3 months. The folding mechanism works, in both lanscape & portrait (the latter is "off-label" use but it works well). The two pieces of magnets is of little use.

The retractable charging cable is for recharging only. The normal usb-microusb cable can be used for charging & data.

The headphone is cheap but works. The silicon case fits really well and stinks. REALLY stinks.

I have not tried the screen saver. The booklight looks cheap but works well. I have no idea what that black foam "fish" is.

The AC-DC charger is very 'dirty' -- I plug it into an outlet next to a radio and the radio buzzes. I've never seen that before. To the experts: would that affect the Nook?

For $10.50 total it's a good deal.

EDIT: the leather case completely covers the speakers.
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
The fish is for winding headphones on.

Your deal got you all that for less than the price of a silicon skin at B&N
[Nook Color Accessories] openallnight:
Got my 17 piece kit from amazon.ca. Everything is as expected. Given the price i paid including shipping ($9.56 USD) its an awesome deal (1/3rd the price of the least expensive decent BN case) so i wont even bother about complaining. Plus it was shipped priority from Canada to US!

Edit: Spoke too soon. Nook behaves weird when plugged into A/C charger. The output is 1Amp (stock charger is 1.9 Amps). Not sure if that has anything to do with it but touchscreen response is pretty poor and erratic to say the least. Remove the charger and works fine.

Havent tried any of the other accessories yet.
[Nook Color Accessories] d00med:
Got the four "stinky" silicone skins + screen protector for $4.99. It's been a week and no sign of it and no tracking information. Gimme!
[Nook Color Accessories] case-sensitive:
Don't use the charger!

I have the same touch-screen problem when I use the AC charger: each time I press the on-screen keyboard I get two, three, sometimes even 7 characters. My guess is that it is related to the charger's output being 'dirty' (cf. my post #54). I don't have this problem when I use my cellphone charger (0.5A) or the original nook charger.

What I shame; I'd would have loved to get a spare charge (even if it's 1A instead of 1.9A). But the rest of the pieces are worth way more than the $10.5 I paid for so I can't complain. :-)
[Nook Color Accessories] JLCollier2005:
Glad I didn't order one when the price went up. I mean it seems a good deal, but I would have mainly been buying this (over the upcoming rooCASE) mainly for a usable charger and the case, but both seem a little less than I want.

Thanks all for telling about your experiences!

ordered march 30, should be here in a few days! :D

Edit: will this arrive in the mail or will they drop it off at my house?
[Nook Color Accessories] EverythingNook:
alright the case itself is good but the screen protector is just horrible! the thing doesn't even fit properly.
[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
The screen protectors with the deal? My mom and I are both using one each, and they fit perfectly and work really well. Nice smooth texture, no glare or fingerprints, and most importantly no bubbles!

ya i called them and they said they sent the wrong one and their going to send me a free one. i hope i dont mess it up...
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
Yay, I got mine from the mailbox. It arrived in a plastic mailing bag.

Impressions:

+Looks and feels nice. Soft to hold.

+Stand works well at all three heights.

+ All buttons are accessible, micro sd is easy to remove as thats the part which slides out of the case first.

± Speaker is a bit muffled, but I use headphones all the time anyway.

-Triples the thickness of the nook in my laptop bag

Applied the screen protector perfectly. About 1cm needed to be cut off as it was too long.

It makes the screen much less glossy and less smudge prone, however image quality is reduced too. The screen is now a little less "crisp/vibrant".

edit: found the two magnets :)
[Nook Color Accessories] fulanito01:
Got the case in yesterday. Pleased with it overall. Bought the black case for $13. External material doesn't feel anything like leather, but inner material is good, the nook fits snug and secure inside, and the stand mechanism more than seals the deal. As I feared, a case with a screen flap is less comfortable to hold, but the nice stand seems like a good tradeoff. Biggest complaint is the speaker is covered and muffled, but not a deal breaker for me. Case is less bulky than expected (compared to the b&n case threads)
[Nook Color Accessories] d00med:
I bought the silicone skins, as I didn't want a case with a cover. They're thin and offer minimal protection, but the upside is they're not too heavy or bulky. They feel nice in the hand, would recommend if the price goes back down to $5 for the four of them.
[Nook Color Accessories] victle:
I find it easy to hold, my fingers have a good grip thanks to the three strips when folding the cover back. This is a really good design.

A little OT but does anybody know where to get some good chargers for the Nook Color? I've tried some ones I had but none work except the stock one. Thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] netscorer:
For now only the stock charger would work. Maybe if you wait a bit there will be enough NCs for chinese to clone the charger for under $5. A bit risky proposition if you ask me.
